No, that's the return path for both returns.

The whole reason a call-saved register like r8 is used here is so that
we can return twice into the body of sigsetjmp, in order to tailcall
__sigsetjmp_tail at both the first return and subsequent return. This
is what makes it possible to restore the signal mask from the
returned-to frame rather than the returning-from frame (which is why
the attached doesn't crash with stack overflow on musl like it does on
glibc).
